Jonny Greenwood

In my opinion the other tabs of this song are not only lazy but also
inaccurate. Although this may not be exactly what is played on the
album, it's closer than the others, which include incorrect chord
progressions. The chords are very difficult to hear, but if you listen
closely you can tell they are more complex and have slight changes,
some of which I couldn't figure out include exactly. At any rate, this
is my best effort and if you think it sounds wrong, try listening to
the song with some headphones and I think you'll hear a lot of what's
written below. Everything is on an acoustic guitar, except the outro
which is actually played by a distorted electric bass. Playing the
written chords will sound fine for just the guitar. E-mail me with any
questions, comments, corrections or concerns.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official RADIOHEAD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
